Drew is in Grand Rapids this week to visit the family. Jaime, his sister, delivered her son, Sam who has hypo-plastic-left-heart syndrome. He was delivered C-section on the 16th. He looked perfectly healthy (7lbs 12 oz and 22in long). He had his first open heart surgery on the 21st and is now recovering from that. His chest cavity is still opened up in order to prevent any infection. Jaime and Steve's pastor came down the other day and baptized him...Drew said he totally lost it. I am not sure what the prognosis is at this point? I know Jaime is planning on staying in Ann Arbor by Sam while he is in the hospital (about 5 weeks). Drew left Ann Arbor this afternoon and said that Sam held his hand and opened his eyes (which is awesome!). Please just keep them in your prayers. If you want to see updates, Sam's caring page is:

She has been staying in the house alot lately and is loving the toilet paper. She somehow gets in the bathroom, grabs the toilet paper and walks all over the living room with it!
aww...
this is our neighbor, Annie. Annie, Emily, Abby, and Emma all come over to play with Maupin at about 3:15pm everyday after school!
she knows she is in trouble, but I am pretty sure she doesn't care at all!
